Audhd is so sexy because i can learn everything about the new york jazz scene of the 1940s AND make a map of my homebrew d&d world AND make 6 hours of my life dissappear in only 5 minutes AT THE SAME TIME

When I was in college, I created a playlist of piano jazz for studying (or writing). It featured music by Hazel Scott, Red Garland, Mary Lou Williams, and more. To the classic music lovers, what artists provide the soundtrack for your creative process?
